"We're also going to have positional damage on all of the models as well," says Tosti, "this means when you shoot an enemy in the shoulder, he'll fall backwards or forwards, dependant on the location of the hit. We really can't say right now whether you'll be able to cut off limbs with your lightsaber, but it's in discussion." When he wasn't looking, the person playing the game for us proceeded to cut off a Stormtroopers arms and legs with the lightsaber. "You didn't see that," laughs Tosti. We're hoping they keep it in.

Although multiplayer Jedi Outcast was mentioned, nothing was etched in stone, unfortunately. "Since we're not shipping till early next year, we haven't really fleshed out multiplayer yet," explains Tosti, "don't worry though, we're making quite a few enhancements for multiplayer that I think you'll really like. That's all I can say right now."

The objective of the development team was to capture the look and feel of the movies, and they've certainly portrayed it as accurately as we've ever seen in a game. Lightsabers leave trails as they flash through the air. Battles are fast and furious with Jedis blocking each other's strikes with amazing accuracy -- and poly-to-poly collision support means that the lightsabers hit exactly as they should when you're in the middle of a frenzied exchange, and also promise to cut down on those annoying clipping problems that we're so used to. There are also body-specific hits, so if you tag your opponent in the leg, he's likely to acquire a nasty limp -- that is if you don't cut the leg completely off, a fate we saw befall a few unlucky Stormtroopers who happened to get in Kyle's way.
